The end of Things Fall Apart

The ending of "Things Fall Apart" was sad. I really feel for Okonkwo, the fact that he killed himself. I do believe that it was cowardly for him to kill himself to get out of gulit. There is no explanation when someone commits suicide. People in general have issues that seem to be harder to deal with than others. The class discussion today gave me more insight on whether Okonkwo's decsion was justified.

"Sonny Blues from Isabel's point of view"

One day my husband came home acting as if he had seen a ghost. He would not tell me exactly what was wrong but I knew that it had to something serious. My husband is a school teacher and we live in Harlem, NY. My husband had a little brother named Sonny who got into a little trouble with the law and ended up in jail for the use of heroin. Sonny was a musician so the use of drugs is very common where we come from. My husband never seemed to be the same after this particular incident. We have, well had three children, two boys and a girl. But at the age of 2 my daughter Gracie died and this really changed my husband in a way that words could not express. At our daughter's funeral my husband did not seem very emotional, maybe he was trying to stay strong for me. I do know that my husband started to write his brother a couple of days after Gracie's funeral. My husband's mother is such a sweet woman and she raised her children the best she knew how. Her husband and my husband have alot in common they both have a very dark side in times of sorrow. I am a very happy woman and so was my husband at one point and time. When Sonny got out of jail my husband seemed to want to click with him more by watching over him. My husband insisted Sonny come and live with us so that he would stay out the streets. Even though we still reside in the neighborhood that they grew in Sonny would probably be ok living with us.

"Sonny's Blues"

"Sonny's Blues" is a story that can be analyzed in several different ways. I do not have a very clear understanding of Sonny and his brother. I do not understand exactly why Sonny's brother is acting so strange. Why does the brother still stay in the projects and why did he feel that his wife, children, and brother should stay in an enviroment like this, as he says the enviroment that him and Sonny grew up in. That is the thing that really got to me!!!!!!??????
